Answer 1

You get them from growing taller...or from gaining or loosing weight..to treat i would try cocoa butter...or fade cream( if they are dark)

Answer 2

to get rid of them put oil on them and i dont know how u get them

Answer 3

Its normal. You get stretch marks from growing and sometimes from gaining weight too quickly. Try rubbing coco butter lotion on the stretch marks once or twice a day. It should help make them fade.

Answer 4

Fresh stretch marks appear initially as red lines and then slowly fade to a pale white color over the course of several months. Below is the link regarding Stretch Marks.

Answer 5

There is no way to completely get rid of them, but Palmer's cocoa butter for stretch marks helps to fade them.

Tanning also reduces the appearence of them.

Sadly I have them too and I'm 14 :(

Wish there was a way to get rid of them..

Answer 6

There is a lot of stretch mark treatment available on the market these days. Some treatments are more effective in fading or even eliminating stretch marks, but the success of the treatment depends on a few different things. First of all is the color and age of the stretch marks. If they have faded to a flesh color they are much harder to heal. Second of all, ethnicity and heredity play a role in which creams, oils and other products or equipment will succeed in healing stretch marks.

The cheapest stretch mark treatment available is creams made especially for stretch marks. The most effective creams contain ingredients such as cocoa butter, lanolin and wheat germ oil. These creams actually heal and rebuild the damaged skin. While they may not be able to completely eliminate stretch marks, they may at least make the stretch marks fade to a barely visible scar. A good recommendation will be Palmer Cocoa Butter Cream.

Another popular & effective cream that you might wish to consider is Strivectin. It has a bioactive topical formula that has a combination of skin firming agents to reduce visible wrinkles and make skin appear firmer

Answer 9

Stretch marks are pretty much what they sound like! When skin is stretched it must grow faster than it can and forms these scars. I suggest bio oil or moisturise the area....

Best thing is time....they might appear dark/purple or red but over time they fade and match normal skin colour.

I remember i had a boy point them out on my legs once and i was mortified! i just ignored him but he kept asking what they were...eventually, my friend turned around and said 'they are stretch marks duh! everybody gets them' and he was all sheepish for not knowing...i suggest doing this, it made me feel tons better that my friend had put him in his place and pointed out that EVERY one gets them...even boys can get them!

Later on in life, i was at collage (uk this is from 16-18) and a guy did the exact same thing to my friend...i happily said 'they are stretch marks, everyone gets them have you never seen them?!' My friend gave me a grateful smile and it was no big deal :)

Hope this helps!

Answer 10

First off stretchmarks have absolutely nothing to do with weight so don't get hung up on that. I am UK size 8 and have them across my hips and the back of my thighs. Everybody gets them just due to growth. As you get older your bones sometimes grow a bit faster than your skin and you get little marks. If I were you I really wouldn't worry about them, like I say everybody has some somewhere. They usually go white and are very faint...and nobody ever looks at us as closely as we do ourselves. If you really want to try and treat them try Bio Oil, you can get it from Boots.
